The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 203

[Chapter 201 Is the Empress Inflatable? She Can Explode!]

“What happened to the Empress sister?” Dali asked back.

Now the rebellion in Qingqiu has been almost resolved, and the strongest leader of the Demon Alliance, the Dragon King, has been killed by the master.

Now she is most worried about the Empress sister.

Not only her, but many people in Qingqiu want to know the truth of the matter. What happened here?

The Empress sister did not show up when the enemy was at the gates of the city, which means that something must have happened to her.

But what happened, perhaps only the mother knows.

“It’s hard to say.”

The King of Qingqiu was also very depressed, and sighed, “I will tell you in detail about this matter when we get to the Empress’s bedroom.”

She felt that this matter should not be said outside, this matter is simply a fairy tale, and she herself has not figured out what happened here.

She held her forehead and sorted out her disordered thoughts.

No one asked again.

Because they all knew that the matter of the Demon Alliance’s rebellion was resolved, and the King of Qingqiu would soon tell the Empress about the matter.

Now they just need to return to the Empress’s bedroom to know the truth.

There is still some distance from the Empress’s bedroom, and everyone can still wait.

But Dahu couldn’t wait, because her best friends in Qingqiu were her mother, her aunt, and her sister, the Empress. These were her very important relatives.

Each one was very important.

She was eager to know the truth about the Empress, so she hurried to lead the way.

With a wave of her hand, the guards guarding the gate of Qingqiu Imperial City activated the formation and slowly opened the gate.

As soon as it was opened, thousands of people poured out.

These people were all tourists from Qingqiu, but since the news of the Empress’s death came out, these people have never gone out again and are all locked up here.

There are people from various countries in Daozhou.

The King of Qingqiu didn’t want the news to spread, so he locked everyone up here. The most serious ones haven’t left here for more than a month.

They knew that Qingqiu was going to fight, and they wanted to leave, but they couldn’t.

Now that the gate had just been opened, a group of people poured out, and they started to quarrel and accuse each other.

If this matter is not resolved, once these people go back and spread the leaflets, it will affect the reputation of Qingqiu.

“Stop arguing.” Dahu shouted and looked at her mother, “How should this matter be resolved?”

“How do you think it should be resolved?” King Qingqiu looked at Dahu.

“Are there any casualties due to the war?”

“No.”

“Then things become very simple.” Dahu smiled.

“Then deal with it according to your opinion.” King Qingqiu said.

“Don’t you want to listen to my ideas?” Dahu looked at her mother. She trusted herself too much. Wasn’t she afraid of messing up?

“No, just listen to you.”

King Qingqiu understood his little daughter.

Although she looked a little stupid and could be easily abducted, she was still quite good at this kind of thing.

As long as there are no casualties in the city, everything will be fine. Dahu walked to the front and raised her voice:

“During this period, because of the problem of Qingqiu, I locked you in. I am really sorry for you. Now the war has been successfully resolved. Congratulations, you can all go home.”

“That’s it.” The people inside roared, “Is Qingqiu taking human lives lightly? Locking us in for more than a month, compensate us for our mental damage.” They

quarreled all of a sudden.

It was a hot topic. They

were dissatisfied with Qingqiu’s approach.

Dahu continued: “I am really sorry for causing you trouble. Let’s make concessions and let you travel in Qingqiu for seven more days for free.”

“It’s too deceptive. Just like this, Qingqiu doesn’t want to stay for a moment.” The people inside started to shout again.

Seeing that they were about to fight, Dahu raised her hand.

Dahu frowned, looking very embarrassed, and said: “During this period, all your consumption inside is free. The money you spend inside will be kept in the form of account book in Qingqiu’s bank. You can keep it inside forever. If you don’t spend it, you can use this money to consume next time you come to Qingqiu, and this money will appreciate.

If you want to continue to travel in Qingqiu, you can also

use this money to offset your various businesses. In other words, you can enjoy two different businesses with the same money. This is the compensation that we Qingqiu can make. If you are still not satisfied, I really have no choice.”

The latter part of the sentence is what she wanted to say at the beginning, but she couldn’t say it for the first time, and had to say it layer by layer.

The people who continued to shout stopped talking.

They understood what Dahu meant. They could play it again. There are really too many types of businesses in Qingqiu. I don’t know how difficult it will be to play it again.

And this is the third concession made by Dahu, and they dare not push it any further.

If Daxu didn’t make any compensation, they wouldn’t have anything to say.

Soon the matter was resolved.

Everyone did what they had to do, and everything was restored, without being affected by the war.

Daxu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her mother, and said, “This should be okay.”

The King of Qingqiu nodded, very satisfied.

Li Xu understood Daxu’s strategy. Anyway, no matter what, once the money entered Qingqiu, there was no reason to go out. He just asked them to spend it again or keep the money in Qingqiu. He

is really a little devil, a genius in business.

“Let’s go.”

Daxu led the way in front. This matter was just an episode and did not cause any waves.

But she took a few steps and saw dozens of familiar figures in front of her.

The woman in the lead was wearing a white gauze. There was a woman beside her who was dressed more abruptly and completely different. She was holding a golden cane in her hand and looked very young.

The woman in the lead glanced at Daxu and looked at Li Xu, her eyes widened.

She suddenly became a little nervous.

“The State Master of the Kingdom of Women.” Da’er and Li Xu both recognized this person. They had seen him in the Santu River.

“This is the State Master of the Kingdom of Women. How could the State Master of the Kingdom of Women come here?” The King of Qingqiu became a little nervous. How could the State Master of a country come to the imperial capital of Qingqiu?

It made people feel a little weird.

The State Master of the Kingdom of Women bowed and said, “I’m sorry, King Qingqiu. We came here hiding our identities. Please forgive us. We came here to find someone.”

It was really unlucky. The State Master of the Kingdom of Women had just left the Santu River when the priest came to find him, and then they hurried to Qingqiu.

Unexpectedly, something happened in Qingqiu just after entering Qingqiu.

They stayed inside and didn’t dare to show up. They

were afraid that the people of Qingqiu would misunderstand why they appeared here at such a critical time. If someone with ulterior motives interfered, it would easily provoke a war between the two countries.

Now that the war has been resolved, they can finally come out with peace of mind.

But they didn’t expect to see Li Xu just after they came out.

It was really fate.

She felt that she could always run into him, and the same was true in the Santu River of Zhuanxu Kingdom.

Wait, the national teacher thought of a serious question, could it be that Li Xu ran to Qingqiu just to pursue her?

Sure enough, he was interested in her.

The Kingdom of Women is now more certain, no wonder they took good care of her in the Santu River, so that’s the case.

Thinking this way, everything can be explained.

“National teacher, national teacher, national teacher…” The King of Qingqiu came to her and found that she seemed to be in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn’t respond when asked.

The national teacher came back to his senses and stopped thinking about anything, saying: “King of Qingqiu, this is the priest of the Kingdom of Women. This time we came to Qingqiu to find someone. It’s really a trouble for you.”

“Excuse me, who are you looking for? Can we in Qingqiu help?”

“Don’t bother you with this matter, I can do it myself.” After all, this matter involves confidentiality and it is not convenient to disclose.

“Okay, I wish you a good time.”

The King of Qingqiu didn’t say much, and took Li Xu and others to the Queen’s palace, and soon disappeared from sight.

Until he disappeared, the eyes of the Kingdom of Women were still fixed on Li Xu’s back, thinking in their hearts: “This Li Xu is amazing, he didn’t even say hello to me.”

“National Master, what are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze?” The priest holding the golden crutch looked at the national master with suspicion.

“Nothing.” The priest retracted his gaze and said: “Priest, let’s stay in Qingqiu for a few more days. Maybe the person we are looking for is still in this imperial capital.”

“But we have been looking for a long time and have not found it. The king is almost unable to hold on.”

“Since the prophecy tells us that the heir is in the imperial capital of Qingqiu, then she must be in the imperial capital of Qingqiu.” said the national master.

“But that’s not what you said yesterday. You said how could there be an heir in this place? This is the territory of monsters. We must have come to the wrong place.”

The national teacher insisted on his own idea and said, “We must follow the instructions of the prophecy. There must be a mystery behind the prophecy. Let’s live in Qingqiu with peace of mind.”

“Let’s hope so. I hope we can find the heir before the king dies.”

“We will definitely find her.” The national teacher said firmly in his heart, “She is definitely here.”

The priest was suddenly surprised: “Hey, my lamp is on, the lamp on the golden crutch is on.”

National teacher: “???”

“God help me, this lamp is finally on, the heir is in the imperial capital of Zhuanxu.” The priest was very excited and grabbed the national teacher’s hand, “See it, our efforts have not been in vain.”

“I see, but the imperial capital of Qingqiu is too big. Now we can be sure that the heir is here, but how do we find him?”

“As long as we are sure that the person is here, we can always find him.”

“Let’s hope so.”

…

The King of Qingqiu, who was walking towards the empress’s bedroom, suddenly whispered to the minister beside him: “Send someone to keep an eye on the people in the Kingdom of Women and see what they are doing?”

The minister left.

“Da’er, have you met the national teacher of the Kingdom of Women? What kind of person is she?”

“I don’t know. We only met once. My master and I went to the Santu River to look for the Sansheng Flower and ran into her. I can’t say for sure, but one thing is that she likes to meddle in other people’s business.”

Da’er said. Now she suddenly remembered that the national teacher advised her to stay away from Li Xu. She felt that her sister was sick.

But the people of the Kingdom of Women might not be normal.

“Why is the national teacher of the Kingdom of Women so weak?” King Qingqiu felt something was wrong. This national teacher was only at the fifth level. He was really weak. A slap could make her turn three times in place.

“It’s like this, mother, the Kingdom of Women has priests with a high status. Their king, heir and other major events are all determined by priests. They don’t look at strength, but look at prophecies.”

“In that case, it can be understood.”

Seeing that the national teacher is of this level, I thought how could the Kingdom of Women be so weak that it was not conquered.

It’s really a miracle.

So that’s how it is.

They went all the way, and before they arrived at the Empress’s bedroom, the King of Qingqiu sent a message to Dazhu, saying that the Empress’s secret was not convenient to be revealed for the time being, and asked her to settle her friends.

Dazhu immediately understood her mother’s concerns, and personally put An Zhiyu, Dean Qinglian, Tang Sheng and Luwu in a palace.

They didn’t ask much, because they knew that what they were going to talk about next was a big deal.

“I’m so sorry, Sister Zhiyu.”

“It’s okay, I understand.”

“You stay here first, and I’ll come to you when I get this done.”

Dazhu said and ordered the guards to prepare food, “Qingqiu is fun, I will take you to play when the time comes, remember to wait for me.”

“Okay.” Sister Zhiyu said.

“Then I’ll leave first, if you have anything, just tell the guards or the maids, or tell them, we are all family, don’t be polite.” She said and left.

An Zhiyu retracted his gaze, then noticed that the master had been rubbing his eyes, and asked, “Why do you keep rubbing your eyes?”

Dean Qinglian said, “I don’t know why, my eyelids keep twitching, my left eye twitching for wealth, my right eye twitching for disaster. Since entering the gate of Qingqiu, I have had a bad feeling in my heart, and I always feel that something will happen.”

“Master, are you overthinking it?” Tang Sheng also said.

“You are just bored and have nothing to do.” Luwu also said, “As soon as Li Xu appeared, he forcefully solved the problems of Qingqiu. How could something else happen? It’s obviously worrying about nothing.”

“I don’t know either. Anyway, you should go out less recently and stay in the palace.” Dean Qinglian said.

“Okay.”

Tang Sheng and An Zhiyu replied casually, and it was obvious that they didn’t hear it in one ear and out the other.

They have absolute confidence in Li Xu.

I always feel that when he is here, nothing will happen in the world.

…

Daju arranged An Zhiyu and others properly, and came to the outside of the empress’s bedroom.

At this time, many heavyweight ministers of Qingqiu followed outside.

These are all people who have been to Qingqiu, and they are all their own people.

Except Li Xu.

Of course, Li Xu is also one of his people.

Daju thought secretly in her heart and walked over.

“Come with me.”

The King of Qingqiu crossed his hands at his waist, with a serious expression, and walked towards the palace of the empress step by step.

Li Xu followed him up, with Ban Ruozhu on her left and Daju on her right, and dozens of big monsters of Qingqiu behind her.

Everyone walked towards the empress’s bedroom step by step, with a solemn look.

They were all very nervous, because this matter was about the empress. The empress was the core figure of Qingqiu. If she really fell, then the whole Daozhou would be shaken.

Finally, they came to the empress’s bedroom, and the door was slowly pushed open by the two Kings of Qingqiu.

The palace was empty, and there was nothing inside.

Usually there were many maids here, but since the empress had an accident, the King of Qingqiu transferred all the maids away for safety reasons.

Because the hall was so empty, it seemed a bit deserted.

Everyone could hear their footsteps echoing, it was so wide, and the space was constantly echoing.

“The Empress lives in a place like this. If she continues like this for a long time, won’t she suffocate to death?” Li Xu said directly, not wanting to beat around the bush, because there was no need.

As soon as he said this, everyone wanted to say that he was too direct, but they didn’t say anything. The face of

King Qingqiu also darkened. If you speak so directly, you will never find a wife in the future.

“There used to be a lot of people here, but after she got into trouble, I transferred everyone here away.”

King Qingqiu sighed, but this palace was built too big. Usually, only the Empress and her maids lived here, and it was indeed a bit deserted.

In addition, the Empress didn’t interact with anyone, which made this place seem even calmer.

Unlike where she lived, her daughters often came to accompany her, or her sisters came to accompany her, but the Empress’s personality was solitary.

The King of Qingqiu found a seat and sat down, and asked everyone to sit down as well. Two rows of maids began to pour tea and greet everyone.

When they were done, the maids slowly withdrew and closed the door of the palace.

The hall suddenly fell into silence, empty, and no one spoke.

It was too quiet.

Li Xu looked at the King of Qingqiu.

Daxu, Ban Ruozhu and others also looked at her, waiting for her to talk about the empress.

She took a sip of tea and said, “This matter really can’t be covered up, so I’ll tell the truth. In fact, I only know half of it.”

“Mother, don’t speak half of it.”

“The Dragon King said that the empress died suddenly. I think there were people planted by the Dragon King among the maids, and it was these maids who leaked the news.”

“Did the empress sister really die suddenly?”

“I don’t know the details. I remember that day, I was walking with my good sister, Sister Civet Cat, and suddenly I heard the sound of explosions coming from the Empress’s bedroom.

It was like thunder, and I thought something had happened, so I ran over.

When I arrived at the hall, I found something burning in the hall. The maids around were sitting on the ground, pale and terrified. I asked them what happened.

They told me that the Empress had exploded.

It was still burning violently, and it was her who was burning on the ground.

I was so scared that my legs went weak, and I quickly used Taoist magic to put it out, but it was too late. There was only a pool of ash on the ground.

After a while, I calmed down. I thought it was ridiculous and thought they were lying to me, but I couldn’t find the Empress everywhere. I felt that something was wrong. I

called all the frightened maids and asked them to tell the story.

Each of them said that the Empress was practicing, and suddenly her expression was wrong, and then she exploded.”

King Qingqiu briefly described the course of events, but the Empress really disappeared from then on.

Li Xu thought it was outrageous. It wasn’t inflatable, so how could a person explode.

There is definitely something wrong.

“Are you hiding something?”

Li Xu looked directly at King Qingqiu.

He would not believe this, and I believe no one present would believe it.

“No, why would I hide you?” King Qingqiu wanted to cry but had no tears. She also felt it was strange at first, but it was the truth.

Li Xu’s expression was serious, and he asked:

“What kind of Taoism is she practicing?”
